Show Notes

When Mike Arguss started his firm in 2012, it was just him in a basement apartment. Like most firms, his growth was slow and steady. The tipping point was when Mike decided to learn everything he could about the business side of law and integrate it into his practice. That decision changed everything. Mike's Chicago-based Arguss Law Firm has expanded substantially and today employs 5 attorneys and 10 staff. Most of this evolution has taken place over the past four years. Mike reveals how he moves one strategic goal at a time. He shares his experience implementing data-rich client management systems, ramping up marketing, and perfecting customer service.

Key takeaways:

Make data-driven decisions. When implemented correctly, client management systems can reveal how best to spend resources.
Seek help. A vision is only as good as the execution and integrators can help you bring ideas to life.
Take down the walls. Learn from others. Offer guidance in return. Find the right mentoring groups, conferences, or masterminds to exchange ideas and accelerate the firm.
